Mission Summary - “Those We Leave Behind, Part I”
The Huron is sent out on a mission to Alpha Iota Leonis, to evacuate 5800 colonists from a planet that is being destroyed by the system's binary star and overwhelming gravimetric forces. They made a detour to Utopia Planitia, from Earth's Starbase, to replace their pods with colony pods, but in the middle of their brief trip to the shipyards, an explosion is detected on decks 11 through 14. Emergency teams from all departments quickly arrive at the scene, when they discover that they have just been tested in a drill on emergency readiness, while the ship continues towards Utopia Planitia. A less than popular drill, the bridge crew returns to their stations, where tensions run high amongst the crewmembers as the mission gets underway...

<<<<<BEGIN Mission>>>>>

Host XO_Woo says:
::on the bridge of the Huron, somewhat missing the break, seated, as the ship comes back to life::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::sitting in her chair on the bridge, going over the crew that will be left behind::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, trying to find ways to reduce the stress on the Life Support for the duration of the trip.::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::stands in the center of the cargobay making sure that the crewmen are moving the last of the crates and equipment out of the area::

CSO_Sky says:
::Going over the ships warp specs.::

Host XO_Woo says:
*Senior Officers* All departments report in, I'd like to get going as soon as possible.

CMO_Harek says:
::sitting in his office, drawing up orders for his and the extra medical staff::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::On Bridge, watching the monitor for info.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::waves at the XO:  XO:  Counseling department ready Sir.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: We're continuing preparations, but we're ready to start.  If needed, we could almost take them on now.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  The science department is ready commander.

CMO_Harek says:
*XO* All medical staff is onboard and ready to go

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Have you ever run a Pod exchange?

TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Nope.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
*XO*: Commander, Sparks here. The cargobays are ready and I'm just going to check on the preparations in the holodecks.

Host XO_Woo says:
*EO* Impulse and warp online?

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
*XO*: Aye sir, all engines systems operating at optimum levels.

CMO_Harek says:
::goes through the medical staff and figures what medical staff could be stationed into the cargobays, holodecks, to treat any injured colonists::

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Please contact Starbase and request clearance to depart.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Aye sir.  COM: Starbase 71 control, this is USS Huron requesting clearance for departure.

Host Jamie_O says:
<SBOPS> COM: Huron: This is Control, Huron, Permission to Depart Granted. Initiating Auto depart sequence.

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: Did you have an enjoyable holiday, lieutenant?

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::checks the panel as Starbase Operations begins the disconnect sequence::

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Nice and peaceful Sir, and you?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: SB OPS: Much obliged, control.  See you soon.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: We're cleared for departure.

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: Airlocks secure, docking clams disengaged. Red lights begin to turn green

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: Pretty much the same here. ::smiles:: CTO: Acknowledged, lieutenant.

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, would you like me to take the helm?

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: Please take the helm. Take us out, full thrusters.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
*XO*: Commander, we now have internal power. On our own again sir.

CMO_Harek says:
::finishes drawing up preliminary orders for the entire medical staff and gets up from his seat::

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Yes Sir...

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: Please, lieutenant. ::smiles:: take us out, full thrusters.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::gets out of her chair and relieves the Ensign at the helm::  Ens:  You are relieved Ensign.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::taking her seat, she touches the panel and moves the Huron at 1/4 thrusters away from the pylons::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: I'm going to let you handle the pod switch.  If there are any problems I'll be right behind you.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Very well.

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: the Giant Space Doors open and Huron emerges back into the Great Beyond

CNS-McIntyre says:
::watches as the pylons disappear::  XO:  Sir, we are now at full thrusters... I didn't particularly want to scrape the Huron Sir.

Host XO_Woo says:
*Senior Officers* We're going to go to Utopia Planitia to swap our pods for more room for the refugees, and then make way straight for the colony. I'm sure I don't have to remind you people that 5800 lives are in our hands now. We will have to work efficiently, cooperatively... and get the job done.

CSO_Sky says:
::Scratching her head, with padd in hand, she stands up and walks over to the XO.::

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: No worries, lieutenant. ::smiles:: Set a course for Utopia Planitia.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::assigns some crewmen to complete the cargo bay changes and heads for the holodeck to check on progress there::

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, plotted and away we go! ::tapping her console::

CSO_Sky says:
::Waits for his attention::

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: as Huron passes the Outer Markers, a Starfleet Academy Flight Wing performs a flyby

CNS-McIntyre says:
::watches as they fly past::

Host XO_Woo says:
::peers over his shoulder and notices the CSO:: CSO: Yikes, don't sneak up like that. :;grins:: What do we have here? ::takes the CSO's padd::

CSO_Sky says:
::Smiles at the comment before becoming serious::  XO:  Rather a problem to your orders, at least part of it.

CMO_Harek says:
::looks around main sickbay:: *Medical Staff* Will all medical staff please report to sickbay

Host XO_Woo says:
::raises an eyebrow of concern:: CSO: Oh? Well, please elaborate.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  The reason we are unable to go to warp, has nothing to do with the system or the ship.  It is a ban placed as a precaution to prevent any potential problems, such as a nice wormhole or shift that could create further problems with the planet.

CMO_Harek says:
::paces, waiting for the medical staff to arrive::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::As he waits their arrival upon Utopia, he brings up a manual on Pod Exchanges.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::listens to the CSO explain about wormholes::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::arrives at the holodeck and notices that no one seems to be there::Self: Now where the devil is everyone? I asked them to get these suites ready for the refugees and no one is even here yet. Some people just don't get it.

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: Utopia Planitia in all it's Glory appears, illuminated by the SOL star

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: Continue. CTO: Inform Utopia Planitia of our arrival.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Aye sir.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::begins the work herself on making sure that the holosuites are ready with the appropriate facilities for their guests::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Com: Utopia Planitia: This is the USS Huron, arriving to pick up our new Hospital Pods.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  The other has to do with the planets instability.  As you know, planets go through magnetic shifts.  It would appear this one is going through its now.  As it zeros out, the planet, which has always been under extreme stress, basically will be under double stress, hence the instability of the continent.  This means earthquakes...

CSO_Sky says:
XO: volcanic action on a large scale.

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: just as a large group of Worker Bees surround the Huron, the ship goes to Automated Red Alert. Reports of an explosion and fire come in from Decks 11 through 14

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: I see. ::smiles:: Well, we have a responsibility to evacuate 5800 colonists before their planet is destroyed, and it will be destroyed. If we must go to warp as a last precaution...

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  We got problems!

CMO_Harek says:
::walks around handing out padds designating medical teams:: Med Staff: I don't have to say the safety and health of the 5800 evacuees is our number one priority.  Most of the medial staff will remain on board and server around the ship's cargobays and holodecks, and whatever else the engineering crews have changed into living spaces.

Host XO_Woo says:
All Departments: Report! ::frowns as he hears the klaxons go::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Sir, explosions and reports of fire coming in from decks 11 through 14!

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  It is possible... with the usual unknown doubled for us.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Initiate fire suppression systems down there immediately!

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, I have already done that...

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Confirm CTO?

Host XO_Woo says:
*EO* We have reports of explosions on decks 11 through 14, send damage control teams.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Aye sir, initiated.  TO: Scan those decks, make sure everyone gets out of there!

CMO_Harek says:
::stops his lecture hears and feels the explosion::

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: Casualty reports begin to stream in

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::hears the klaxons and hurries to the nearest comm panel::*Engineering*: What's happening down there?

TO_Dem`Rual says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Scans  the decks 11 to 14::

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  I can assist in medical if they need an extra pair of hands.

CMO_Harek says:
All: Return to your stations

Host XO_Woo says:
*CMO* Doctor, we've explosions reported on decks 11 to 14, we may have casualties.

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO: As can I Sir... ::smiling at the CSO::

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS, CSO: Please, thank you.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: What's the status of the fires?

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
<Henderson>*EO*: We have big trouble ma'am. Explosions on several decks, repair teams on the way.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  After you Sky... age before beauty! ::grinning impishly::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Casualty reports coming in.  Initial reports of 30 casualties, no details yet.

CNS-McIntyre says:
Ens:  Take over the helm!

Host XO_Woo says:
*EO* Lieutenant, please respond. Damage control teams?

CMO_Harek says:
*XO* What is the status of decks 11-14, is it safe to send medical teams

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::frowns::*XO*: Repair teams on the way sir. Just getting more info from my crewman.

CSO_Sky says:
::Chuckles as she heads for the turbolift::  CNS:  Then as the youngest, you should go first.

CNS-McIntyre says:
<Ens> CNS:  Yes Ma'am, I am relieving you of the helm.

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: the first of the casualties wander into sickbay

TO_Dem`Rual says:
XO: The fire seems to have been terminated.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Permission to head to the damaged areas.  I want to assist in securing those areas.

Host XO_Woo says:
*CMO* Fire suppression systems are active, there may be many more injured down there, damage control teams are also underway... and the fire has been terminated.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Shall we do it together?  ::taking her arm and walking into the TL together::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
*Henderson*: I'm heading to deck 11 now, meet me there with your team and bring my kit. Sparks out.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Permission granted.

CSO_Sky says:
::Smiles as she enters:: Computer, sickbay.

Host XO_Woo says:
TO: Confirm, please.

CMO_Harek says:
::watches as injured start to come in, noticing only minor injuries so far, begins designating teams of 2 to each damaged decks::

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  Have you set up the altered room accommodations yet?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Have you ever noticed if it isn't one thing it is 4 more? ::waiting for the TL to reach deck 9::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::scrambles into the nearest jefferies tube and makes her way down to deck 11::

Host XO_Woo says:
TO: Stand down red alert. Check internal sensors, find out what happened!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Transfer auxiliary power to the containment shields.  Call me if anything shows up on sensors.  ::Turns and enters the next TL.::  TL: Deck 11.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  No, they said we wouldn't be sharing, have those orders changed?

TO_Dem`Rual says:
XO/CTO: Aye, sir.

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  I believe that is where the saying comes:  It never rains, but it pours.

CMO_Harek says:
::runs over to a crewman that is convulsing on a bio-bed::

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  As for the orders, I don't know.  It would give us more room if we need it.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Well then we should be drowning!

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
*Henderson*: I hope you isolated those damaged decks. I want them evacuated as soon as possible.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Exits TL and moves into the damaged areas.  Pulls Tricorder and begins scanning for life signs in the damaged areas.::

Host XO_Woo says:
*EO* I would like a full damage report as soon as possible, lieutenant.

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  I believe we have life preservers.  ::Steps out the doors as they stop.::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
*XO*: Of course Commander, I'm just about to deck 11 and will advise you as soon as I know myself. Sparks out.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Let's see how bad the injuries are... I will take the burns, if the CMO will allow me, what about you?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*: Sir, until we find out what happened, I suggest we move away from Utopia.  If whatever happened isn't done, I wouldn't want to destroy ships being built or repaired.

CSO_Sky says:
::Steps through into sickbay::  CNS:  As a medical doctor, wherever I am needed.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::cracks the hatch on deck 11 and climbs out::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CMO:  You have two set of extra hands, how can we help you?

Host XO_Woo says:
TO: Please open a ship-wide channel, ensign.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Transfers power to containment shields, then checks the internal sensors::

CSO_Sky says:
::Quietly::  CNS:  Sometimes I wake up prepared to go sickbay, not the bridge.

CMO_Harek says:
<Dr. Carson> CMO: Heart rate 52,  60/40, extensive 3rd degree burns, lost a lot of blood

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Opens Channel:: XO: Done sir.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::spots crewman Henderson and rushes over::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Yes, I know the feeling, I began as an MO... then went to tactical ::shrugs shoulders meaning not to ask how the change came about::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
Henderson: Ok Ron, what do we have here?

Host XO_Woo says:
*Ship* Well, well. I must commend you folks on a job well done. Excellent response, from all departments. We... have just had a brief emergency preparedness drill. I must say, I am most impressed. ::grins to himself::

CMO_Harek says:
::looks over the the CNS and CSO:: CNS, CSO: Do whatever you can, I'm busy with a critical patient

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: as if nothing happened, the "patients" hop off the biobeds and return to their stations

CSO_Sky says:
::Reads the curiosity::  CNS:  Starfleet's infinite wisdom.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::her jaw drops as she stares at the CSO then the CMO::

Host XO_Woo says:
*Ship* You may all return to your stations now, with the satisfaction of knowing you did a good job. Woo out.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  I am going to kill the XO! ::turning on her heels she rushes out of sickbay, almost running to the TL::

CSO_Sky says:
::Catches up to the councilor;:  CNS:  My father may have been Vulcan, but my mother was not...  There were a few interesting things she did in her youth.  Something that would not end you up in the penal colony.

Host XO_Woo says:
::grins at the TO:: TO: Good work.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
<Henderson>::hands Holly her kit::EO: Nothing that I can see ma'am. I believe the Commander was just testing us.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::the longer she thinks about it, the madder she gets::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Turns about slowly, returning to the Bridge.::

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: at the EO's location, the smoke is quickly evacuated

CSO_Sky says:
::Stops the counselor at the turbolift::  CNS:  Consider.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
XO: Thank you, Sir.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Sky... you better hope he is NOT on the bridge when this TL gets there!

CMO_Harek says:
::looks at the reading of the patient an realize the were false and the patient is fine::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::growls softly as she hears the announcement from the bridge::Henderson: Alright, return to your station and tell the rest of the staff well done.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Consider what? ::raising her eyebrow::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Breathes deeply, trying to get the adrenaline back under control.::

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  I believe the correct term is mischief?

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO: What do you have in mind?  ::beginning to grin::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::angerly heads for the bridge::

Host XO_Woo says:
TO: Ah, that was enjoyable. Drills are good for the soul. And look, we continue on our way to Utopia Planitia while they were busy down there. Excellent, excellent.

CSO_Sky says:
::Steps into the turbolift so none other here::  CNS:  Actually, what I had in mind is rather simple... and untraceable.

CSO_Sky says:
::Leans over and quietly whispers to her.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters the Turbo Lift.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::begins to grin from ear to ear::  CSO:  Excellent!

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
Computer: Bridge please. :;stands there still fuming::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
XO: Good for the soul, sir? I consider more like a critical thinking assignment.

CMO_Harek says:
::the EMH disappears, realizing the computer had been programmed to trick him::

CSO_Sky says:
::As the turbolift doors stop, she steps through with a hopefully much calmer counselor.::

Host XO_Woo says:
TO: Yes, but a job well done builds... confidence, reassurance.

Host XO_Woo says:
::stands as the turbolift doors open::

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO/CNS: Welcome back, ladies.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
XO: Aye sir, I understand.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::following the CSO, she can't wait::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters the Bridge.::

CMO_Harek says:
::calls all the medical staff back so he can finish giving out his orders::

CSO_Sky says:
::Raises an eyebrow, looking very much like her Vulcan ancestry at the moment.::  XO:  I gather we needed a bit of exercise.

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: panel indicates that all 3 DEM's are ready for pyro-ejection

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::arrives on the bridge, her face now red with anger as she steps out::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::walks over to the helm and once again relieves the ensign on duty::

Host XO_Woo says:
CSO: Ah, there is nothing like a bit of a test to sharpen one's performance. And you performed admirably. We have continued our approach to Utopia Planitia, and we will shortly be ready for swapping. Your station, please.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::ignoring the welcome she checks the Huron's course::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: That was interesting.  Ready to change the pods?  First step, let Commander Woo know the DEM's are ready to eject the old pods.

CSO_Sky says:
::Nods and heads for her station, and begins a little side experiment for the first officer.::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::swiftly looks for the Commander and heads in his direction::XO: Commander, may I have a word with you.......privately?

CNS-McIntyre says:
EO:  Holly, a moment first please?

Host XO_Woo says:
::looks over at the EO:: EO: Certainly. CNS: Take us into the berth.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Okay. Are they ready right now?

Host XO_Woo says:
::leads the EO to the side:: EO: Yes?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Affirmative, status is on that panel right there.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::looks at the counselor::CNS: Not now please counselor. I need to have a word with the Commander.

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Aye Sir ::changing to maneuvering thrusters, lining up the Huron with its birth::

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: Huron enters the Ejection Area

TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Oh.  XO: Pods are ready to be exchanged.

CSO_Sky says:
::Quickly and swiftly she does some reprogramming.::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::moves to the side with the XO::XO: Sir, why did you decide to pull a drill now? You want the ship ready for the colonists and so you pull my people away from their duties just to test us?

Host XO_Woo says:
::calls over his shoulder as he walks to the side:: TO: Ah, thank you. Please initiate the procedure as soon as the berth has locked on to the ship.

CMO_Harek says:
::continues talking:: Med Staff: Once we begin rescue operation, everyone must be in position, I suggest you familiarize your self with your station. I will call up on anyone if the are requited to go down to the planet

CSO_Sky says:
::Considering their current mission, she adds a delay to it.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
TO:  We are now berthed, you may begin the pod process.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
CNS: Thank you.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::taps her fingers against her leg as she waits for the XO to explain::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: So now what do I do?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Now notify the crew we are about to eject.  Multiple explosions unannounced can cause nervousness, especially right after the drill.  Once you inform the crew, hit the auto ejection system right there.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Lieutenant... this was the perfect time to initiate a drill. The ship was on its way to Utopia Planitia, we are a considerable distance away from the system, we lost no time in the drill, and it was least expected. I take it, then, you did not enjoy the drill? ::smiles::

CMO_Harek says:
::paces some more:: Med Staff: All dismissed

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::gives him the "look"::XO: Commander, I hope you realize that you've now delayed my people long enough to get behind on the modifications you asked for.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::gets up from her console and walks over to the CSO::  CSO:  What are you waiting on?

TO_Dem`Rual says:
*Crew*: We are about to start the Pod Transaction, If anything happens it is most likely part of the exchange.

CSO_Sky says:
::Looks at the counselor::  CNS:  You wish to perform it now?

CNS-McIntyre says:
::begins to grin::  CSO:  I believe the EO is a "tad" upset... her thoughts are so loud I am surprised you can't hear them!

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Hits the auto-eject:: CTO: Now, I do what?

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::hears the announcement and pauses for a moment::

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  Strict Vulcan training, especially for one who is a healer.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that your people will be able to make up for whatever inconvenience they may have faced... due to the drill. Thank you for your comments, however. ::grins:: Was there anything else?

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: The Ship's PA system emits two loud tones, and the ship is shuddered as the Pod ejection system ejects the pods

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  The sooner the better... I can't wait... thanks for stopping me from overloading my er em, behind! ::grinning::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Now we monitor the installation of the new pods.  It's automated, but we need to ensure that everything is going as planned.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
Aloud: Dang, they're ejecting the pods without letting me know first? XO: Commander, this is highly irregular.

CSO_Sky says:
::Listening to the humor in the first officers voice, she considers something else and whispers something else to the counselor, cautioning that it would be easier to trace.::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Okay.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Once they are attached, we activate the internal life support and make the pods habitable.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Indeed, it is. Perhaps you should return to your station and monitor the swapping, and we can continue this discussion later?

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: work bee's swoop in and grab the pods. Ahead of the Huron, the docking station issues a green light

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  It is entirely up to you, but I like the first one the best.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::mumbles something about uppity first officers, but nods in agreement and heads for the engineering console::

CMO_Harek says:
::walks to of sickbay and begins heads for the cargobay to see how the engineering crews have set everything up::

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Thank you, lieutenant. ::smiles, and returns to his seat, chuckling softly to himself::

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  The original idea remains, only expanded upon.  And perhaps our engineer would like to join us?  I do not know her well enough to answer that question.

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: the Huron creeps forward, and is secured by the Pod station's docking clamps

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  I don't either, ask her, all she can say is no.
EO:  Holly got one moment now?

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: And what is the status of the swapping, lieutenant, if I may be so bold?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: Let the docking station know we're ready to proceed.

CNS-McIntyre says:
<Marie> CNS:  Randi, what the heck is going on?  I have parents calling in here, children scared to death!

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::looks up at the CNS and nods then turns to the Commander::XO: We're in position sir. Pod is moving into catch and secure position. Stand by.

CMO_Harek says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Deck 10

CNS-McIntyre says:
Marie:  Just a drill that our XO decided on Marie.  Tell the parents please, and if there is any trauma to the children, we can let the XO explain this to them in person.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: Excellent. ::notices some strange play between the CNS and EO, and chuckles to himself... then overhears the CNS' response:: CNS: Counselor!

TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: Er...Shouldn't we get a confirmation from the EO first?

CNS-McIntyre says:
<Marie> CNS:  Acknowledged Randi.  I shall send them to the bridge immediately!

CMO_Harek says:
::steps off turbolift and heads for the cargo bay 1::

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Sir, I believe you will have visitors very shortly on the bridge!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TO: You could, but we both have the same information.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::looks at the console readings, while drumming her fingers on the edge of the console::

Host XO_Woo says:
*Marie* ::sighs:: Please stop the parents, they will not be permitted on the bridge, but if they must, I will arrange to speak to any... concerned parents at a later time!

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::hears the TO's comment and then the CTO's and wonders if Icky is trying to avoid her again::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: How did children get left on board?  We're about to be vastly over crowded.  If we left Gamma shift behind, why did we take children?

CNS-McIntyre says:
<Marie> *XO*:  Sir, it is not the parents on their way, it is the offspring Sir!

CMO_Harek says:
::enter the cargo bay and look around, notices that some his medical crew is well on there way to setup medical station everywhere the colonists will be stored::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
CTO: I think it's best that we do.  EO: Is it alright to proceed Ma'am?

Host XO_Woo says:
*Marie* I do not care, Miss Marie, and why are there still children onboard??

CNS-McIntyre says:
CTO:  The children were getting off here Icky... but were just scared out of their wits!

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::grins at the TO::TO: Proceed Ensign.

TO_Dem`Rual says:
*Docking Station*: We're ready to proceed.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Sorry Lieutenant, I figured you had enough to deal with.  Once the pods are installed, I'm assigning some of my teams to assist the set up.

Host XO_Woo says:
::sighs:: CTO: Is it possible to arrange for Utopia Planitia to take the children and send them to a nursery at Starbase, while we begin this procedure?

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: with a gently nudging, the Pods are rested on top of their mounts

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::glares at Icky::CTO: Your teams?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
.XO: I hope so.  Order to evacuate them should have been carried out hours ago.

CSO_Sky says:
::Quietly::  CNS:  The plan is in place.

CMO_Harek says:
<MO_Carson> CMO: Is there anything you need, Sir.

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO: Very good ::just as quietly as she::

TO_Dem`Rual says:
:Notices the EO's glare towards the CTO and then starts at the monitor.::

Host XO_Woo says:
::frowns:: CTO: Yes, they should have been. But we can't help that now. Contact UP to send a runabout and beam the children onboard. We already have authorization from their parents to leave them, in any case.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Tactical teams, I figure your staff is over loaded and what I have left are best used assisting Engineering.  With your permission of course.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::walks over to the CTO: Since when does tactical take over my department's job?

CMO_Harek says:
MO: No, just checking up, good work ::leaves the cargo bay and heads somewhere else.

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Are the mounts secure?

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  I need to check the sensors Efficiencies with these additions.  We will meet later.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: Utopia Planitia: Control, we have a few children who missed the deadline to depart the ship.  Would you have a spare craft to ferry them to Starbase for us?

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
CTO: You assign teams and then decide to ask me if it's alright? Where do you get off.....:;stops herself and heads back to her station::

CNS-McIntyre says:
CSO:  Just let me know when. ::looking back at her console and silently cheers on Holly::

CSO_Sky says:
CNS:  It will begin, in 36 hours.

Host XO_Woo says:
Self: So much for efficiency and cooperation...

Host XO_Woo says:
Bridge: Would somebody please secure the mounts so we may leave? ::smiles::

Host Jamie_O says:
COM: Huron: CTO: Affirmative Huron, Stand by for U.S.S. Hudson

CNS-McIntyre says:
::nods her head acknowledging the CSO's statement::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: I don't want to take over your departments jobs, I figured you could use the help.  I apologize if you don't need the help, and I can call them off.

CMO_Harek says:
::walks around:: *Medical Staff, once everything is prepared, all non essential medical personal may stand down until we begin evacuation procedures

CSO_Sky says:
::Turns to make the needed adjustments of the changes in sensor, part of her mind turning over their proposed plan.::

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO/EO: Do we have a problem, people?

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
XO: Well since the CTO seems to know everything, he can finish securing the pods then.

CNS-McIntyre says:
::is almost choking to keep from laughing::

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Lieutenant, please do so. And transport the children as soon as possible to the Hudson.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
XO: No Commander, no problem, just a difference of opinion.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Sorry sir.  Not a problem.  Locking down now, Hudson is pulling up close.  ::Locks down pods.::

Host XO_Woo says:
EO: That's good to know. Now return to your station.

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: the Control board indicates that the pods have hard docked.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
XO: I thought this was my station sir. ::points to the engineering console where she's already standing::

CNS-McIntyre says:
::sees the helm sensors showing the pods have been attached::

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Transport status?

Host Jamie_O says:
LOL transport successful

Host XO_Woo says:
CTO: Beam them over, then let's get the hell out of here. ::trying extremely hard to keep from a soured mood::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Transport complete, we're ready to go.

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: Take us out, on the double.

CSO_Sky says:
XO:  Sensors adjusted and online.

Host XO_Woo says:
EO/CTO: Settle this before we get to the system, please. We cannot afford petty disputes once we arrive.

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  Take us out Sir?  Have we been given clearance and I missed it?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
EO: Again, I apologize if I over stepped my authority.  Please don't refuse the help because of it.  It's still under your control.

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
:;grumbles under her breath::Self: I think his antennae are screwed on too tight today.

CMO_Harek says:
::finishes his rounds and heads back to sickbay::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::nods to the XO::

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::ignores the CTO's comment::

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: Then please get the clearance as a precursor to taking us out. ::smiles::

CNS-McIntyre says:
COM: Planitia:  This is the Huron requesting permission to undock?

Host Jamie_O says:
<UP Control> COM: Huron: Permission to depart granted

EO_Ltjg_Sparks says:
::wonders what the XO and CTO would look like with their pants over their heads::

Host XO_Woo says:
CNS: Good. Please, take us out. Set a course... for Alpha Iota Leonis, maximum warp.

CNS-McIntyre says:
COM: UP:  Acknowledged, unlock your clamps.  :watches as power comes up on the Huron systems::

Host Jamie_O says:
ACTION: the Station releases docking moors

TO_Dem`Rual says:
::Remembers he didn't fix the containment fields during the drill and puts them back to normal.::

CNS-McIntyre says:
XO:  We are now on Huron power, engaging 1/4 thrusters.

CSO_Sky says:
::Completes her side programing.::
